ing ut the residence Of Capt. James
a. Griffin. After my arrival 7 found
that our party had about gathered.
and dinner being over VIC started on
our journey. And on VIC went until
arom4 ncm Oolcnov church was reach

Rock. We soon reached what was
once the TalAe Rock Hotel, but pow
the private residence of Mr. Nathan
icl Keith, here we called q halt for
tho night, Our horses being slablod
ana fed and nice fires NDrepered bv
our kind mountain friend, we ate our
first picnic supper, which WAS quite a
novel thing. About this time We were
joined ,y two friends, one from the
Mountain grove section and the other
from the Ool1noN section Our crowd
then numbered up in the twcnties.
Supper being over the Younger Of
the crowd repaired to the ladies' room
where they engaged in various kinds
Of past times. About Il o'clock bods
were made ready and soon the fun Of
trying to sleep begun. Intending an
early start next morning to the top
of the Rock, we arose SO early
that We commenced the night before.
After breakfast tho ascent was COM
mcnccd and bv 7 o'clock a. m. We were
on top, where we found it quite cool,
but that terrible climbing had made
every body thirsty, SO the spring was
sought, but no one had brought n
cup. But soon that wonderful plant,
the "Hnntcr>s Cup" was found and
then all could drink with case. Hay
ing drank and rested we struck ont
sight seeing and gathering chestnuts,
Having made n circle ,f the entire
Rock we returned to the spring where
we enjoyed nice lunch prepared by
the ladies, The decent was then
made, and the Pool, the Eagles Nest,
the Devils Den and many other pla-
c"H of interest were visited. At 2 y.
m another picnic WAS had and all re-
turned home fNll Of joy and well pleas

South. john Sherman little State,
Ohio, made a law requiring the two
races to he educated in the same

school trustees in one of the rcpnbh
can towns rebelled, and sworc they
would not comply with the law. A
mass meeting Of citizens was called

III Ignoring the law. At this meet
ing prominent Republican said the
board did right, that he was in for

agreed to stand between the board
and all danger, SO for as the law is
concerned. These are the people who
bemean the South for race prejudice.
How many northern papers will take
the Ohio episode for a text on race
prejudice, and try to pull the beam
out of their own eyes? The North
